The Atwood Hotel San Diego - SeaWorld/Zoo

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay at the Atwood loved the location and the hotel was clean."

Best Western Seven Seas

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was great but fire alarm would go off if you shower with the door open due to the steam. Otherwise amazing hotel really close to the transit station & stadium. Super convenient and clean. Had a lot of fun, cafe was a hit expensive but"

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel in a safe location. Staff was very friendly and the rooms were spacious. Ordered from the restaurant for dinner and everything we ordered was very good."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The property is very beautiful; however, it feels a tad bit outdated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t mind staying again."

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great trip thanks"

Kings Inn San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Had a couple issues but the staff was there immediately. Property and room was very clean. Our room had no carpet so you could see it's clean. Liked the decor. The waffle Spot was sooo good and service was awesome! Wear your eating pants! Great place to take kids."

Motel 6 San Diego, CA - Hotel Circle - Mission Valley

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful and the rooms were clean. Although the elevators and hallways were a bit messy, alongside the odd individuals who were walking outside sometimes (all of whom were actually quite nice), I would say the stay was still well worth the price. One downside is that the key cards often stopped working, but the staff were nice enough to replace them even at late hours. Would recommend this place for a cheap stay in San Diego."

Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town/SeaWorld Area

10/10 Excellent

"Extra friendly staff"
